Warm Thoughts

Happy Monday to you!!!

This week Starving Artistamps is sponsoring 2Sketches4You.

Here is my card:

And here is the skech:

I used the “Santa’s Sweet Shoppe” stamp set by DoodleFactory from Starving Artistamps.

The patterned paper is from Daisy Bucket.

The snowflake is highlighted with Stickles, although I couldn’t get the sparkle to show much in the photo.

You can participate at 2Sketches4You, too!  This is a fun and versatile sketch that Laura has provided.

If you would like to see some more examples…check out my fellow design team members’ cards!  (see the list on the left!)
